    The Enduring Splendor of Cushion-Cut Engagement Rings

    The cushion cut, also referred to as a "pillow cut," features a square or rectangular shape with rounded corners, reminiscent of a soft cushion. This shape offers versatility and softness while still being a bold, strong choice of diamond. Because it is cut more deeply, a cushion will appear smaller than a round brilliant cut of the same carat weight, but many are willing to overlook this fact because of the cushion’s intriguing silhouette.

    Lab-Grown Luxury

    One of the defining characteristics of a cushion-cut diamond engagement ring is its remarkable ability to showcase a diamond's brilliance and fire. At Taylor Custom Rings, you can get this same radiance without the harmful impact that comes with a mined diamond. Our lab-grown diamonds have the same clarity, quality, and brilliance as a mined diamond, but are created above ground using cutting-edge technology. Each ring is thoughtfully crafted to honor the planet, creating a timeless piece you’ll treasure for years to come.

    FAQs

    The following are the cushion cut’s defining attributes:

    • Square or rectangular shape
    • Softly rounded corners
    • Various facet arrangements

    Cushion-cut diamond engagement rings are so popular because they blend the best of old and new. The cut is inspired by the Old Mine Cut, a style commonly used in antique rings, while some versions, like brilliant and modified brilliant cushions feature updates for the modern era.

    Elongated cushion-cut engagement rings have more of a rectangular shape; standard cushion-cut diamonds tend to be more square in shape.

    Some people prefer an elongated cushion-cut diamond ring because it can create the illusion of a larger diamond, and it may make the fingers appear more slender. Others enjoy the classic symmetry of square diamonds.

    There are three popular approaches for picking the perfect pairing:

    1. Maximize the Overall Sparkle

    A bold wedding ring with pavé diamonds leans into the engagement ring’s lavish cushion-cut diamond, adding to the overall presentation’s sparkle and fire. This approach is ideal for those who enjoy statement jewelry.

    2. Let the Solo Diamond Steal the Show

    Cushion-cut diamonds don’t necessarily require support from other diamonds. An elegant, minimalist straight band allows the engagement ring to be the focal point on your finger.

    3. Create a Cohesive & Complementary Stack

    A curved band can hug the curves of a standard or elongated cushion-cut engagement ring, creating a ring stack with a unified aesthetic. Just make sure to choose a curve that fits the cushion-cut diamond ring.
